This is a finding aid. It is a description of archival material held at the Princeton University Library: University Archives. Unless otherwise noted, the materials described below are physically available in their reading room, and not digitally available through the web.
Overview and metadata sections
The collection contains 479 dry gelatin glass plate negatives measuring 5 x 7 inches that document the construction of Lake Carnegie in Princeton, NJ. There are also 314 black and white paper prints developed approximately at the time the photographs were taken. The negatives and prints date from circa 1905 to 1907, with the bulk dating from 1905 to 1906. In addition, there are 38 amateur prints taken in March through May 1905 depicting the land before any construction work commenced, and two photograph albums containing construction images.
It is not known who took the photographs that document the construction of Lake Carnegie, but there are several possibilities, and because there appears to be more than one negative numbering system there may have been more than one photographer. The engineer of the lake project would have overseen the taking of photographs, and upon the death of J. J. R. Croes a great deal of photographic equipment and supplies were inventoried in his office. However, it is unlikely that Croes took the photographs himself; as engineer of the entire Lake Carnegie project he would probably have hired a photographer. F. P. Gridley, who worked as foreman and timekeeper of the lake project, owned copyright of the photographic souvenir booklet published for the lake's opening celebrations (1906), but Gridley is never mentioned in the records of the lake project as the photographer. James M. McKenzie writes to Alexander Gulick that he was making a complete photographic record of the work done on the lake, but because McKenzie also writes to Gulick of "the photographer" or "his photographer" at various points, it does not seem likely that McKenzie took these photographs. At the end of December 1906 McKenzie wrote to Gulick that a photographer by the name of Hazard was going to come to take photographs of the lake. This must refer to E. W. Hazard, and there is one photograph taken by E. W. Hazard of the Delaware & Raritan Canal in the Historical Photograph Collection - Grounds and Buildings Series - Lake Carnegie. Hazard may have taken some of the construction photographs, although he did not sign any of the negatives or prints found in the negative boxes as he did the photograph of the Canal.
As mentioned above, there appears to be more than one system of numbering the Lake Carnegie glass plate negatives. In some instances there are duplicate negative numbers, and some negatives have what appears to be a date indicated on the negatives. For example, a negative in the box identified as "Washington Street July" is labeled "864 7/3." This may indicate that the photograph was taken on July 3, but this is not certain and should not be taken at face value.
The main body of the Lake Carnegie Construction Photographs was discovered in a crate in the stock room of the MacMillan Building at Princeton University in 1994. The side of the crate was inscribed with the name A. R. Gulick. Alexander Reading Gulick (Princeton, Class of 1889), a lawyer, was hired by Howard Russell Butler to oversee the acquisition of the lake property and the construction of the lake. The origins of the "Brownie" prints and other amateur prints are unknown.

Collection Inventory
No arrangement action taken or arrangement information not recorded at the time of processing.
The glass plate negative prints consist of 479 contact prints made from the glass plate negatives that were stored in original negative boxes in a crate found in the MacMillan Building on Princeton University campus. The original order of the glass plate negatives, as they were stored within the original negative boxes, has been maintained. While it is not entirely certain, presumably around 1906, someone (perhaps Alexander R. Gulick or the photographer) placed these negatives in the boxes and labeled each with a subject. This arrangement does not reflect any chronological order or numerical order in terms of the numbers assigned to each negative, but it does appear to reflect how the images were used. The original glass plate boxes have been kept and are housed at the end of the collection as a separate series.
The images have been arranged alphabetically by general subject, and then according to the designation written on the side of the negative box. A number of the boxes were labeled with the same subject. When this occurs, the first box with the same subject has an (a) after its subject, the second a (b), and so on. At times the designation on the negative box indicates a month, but neither this designation nor a date inscribed with the negative number should be taken at face value. For example, the designation on the outside of the box labeled "Washington Street July" leads one to believe that all of the images in this box must date from the month of July (and probably from the year 1906, given the stage of work depicted). However, as negatives in the box are marked so as to indicate possible dates from August and September, as well as July, the work depicted in these images must cover a longer period of time. Thus the designations assigned to each box usually indicate the place depicted in the images, and sometimes, but not always, the time at which they were taken.
When a negative is of special interest, it is referred to by negative number in the following description. Numbers were written on a majority of the glass plate negatives. These numbers are given in the box listing following this description.

No arrangement action taken or arrangement information not recorded at the time of processing.
Consists of 15 photographs documenting the construction of the relocated Mapleton Road (Route 614). Some show workers; many show buildings along the road, and bridges built for the project. One image depicts a large wooden boat and a smaller boat on the Canal. (This area along the Canal may have been an unloading point for concrete and other supplies used by the Hudson Engineering Company.) [Note: whoever labeled the glass plate negative boxes labeled this box as Canal Road. While circa 1900 Alexander Street or Road was called Canal Street, this Canal Road must refer to present-day Route 614 or Mapleton Road. The landscape depicted does not resemble Alexander Street, and buildings visible in the images are identical to those seen in photographs of the area around the Aqueduct.]

No arrangement action taken or arrangement information not recorded at the time of processing.
Consists of 38 photographs, most likely taken with a Kodak Brownie camera, taken by an unidentified photographer between March and May 1905 of the area that would become Lake Carnegie. At this point the work of clearing the lake bed had begun, as had some excavation work, but no actual construction had commenced on any of the bridges or the dam. There are images of houses, bridges, mills, and views of the land to be cleared and excavated. There is also a photograph of Howard Russell Butler, Alexander R. Gulick and the Committee of Chosen Freeholders of Mercer County. This is one of the few photographs of individuals involved with the project in which some of the people are identified.
While the condition of these photographs is poor, the value of these images resides in the fact that many of the subjects are identified. In some cases these are the only images of buildings, houses, or areas that we have in this collection from this time period.
There are 7 additional amateur photographs of unknown provenance. Three show Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Carnegie, Howard Russell Butler, and an unidentified man looking at the land that would become the lake. One is of the project engineer, J. J. R. Croes, another of two men canoeing during the winter, and two other miscellaneous photographs.
Physical Description1 box
Consists of 314 black and white photographic prints arranged by negative number, presumably made between 1905 and 1906 (perhaps as late as early 1907) from the glass plate negatives. These were housed with the glass plate negatives found in the MacMillan building on campus. As there are only 314 prints and 479 glass plates, this is not a complete run of prints. However, some of these prints represent photographs for which we do not have negatives, and some of these images have notations on the backs indicating the subject.
Arranged by negative number. Miscellaneous items are not arranged.
